[1.0.0] Flat character gui

Post by ickputzdirwech »

The setting flat character gui has no effect until you research logistic-robotics and therefore the logistics tab is enabled.

Tools: Atom language pack
Text quickly seems cold and unfriendly. Be careful how you write and interpret what others have written.

This is not a bug. You could argue that the naming "flat character GUI" is misleading because the character GUI is actually never totally flat: you always have tabs. If you want to make a suggestion out of this, please formulate how you want it to be different from current behavior / naming.

Well I agree with you that this could be intentional, but then the description of the setting is misleading.
Crafting and logistics/character info are laid out next to each other as opposed to being under alternative tabs.
This implies that instead of one tab you will have two visible. Crafting and either logistics or character. When you start a new game the logistics tab isn't available yet. I would therefore expect it to show crafting and character next to each other.

It works exactly as described when it got introduced, so this is not a bug.

I agree with this point actually. The text is misleading and not describing what you will see.
